- Japanese: 洋学所 (yôgakusho)
The Yôgakusho was an institute established by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1855 for the study and teaching of Western Studies. It was established on the former site of a firefighters' station in Ogawamachi, in the Kanda neighborhood of Edo, but was moved in 1855/12 to the former site of the residence of Nakaoku koshô Takemoto Masatsune, at Kudanzaka.
Scholars such as Koga Kin'ichirô and Mitsukuri Genpo were appointed to prominent positions in the school.
